late at night.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who took care of everything, returned to the village.

But instead of going to bed, he summons Danzo.

"Hiruzen, what do you want from me?"

Danzo pushed open the door and walked in.

"Kushina has been found, and it was done by Cloud Shinobi Village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice.

"Cloud Shinobi Village?"

Shimura Danzō was furious when he heard this: "How dare they covet Nine Tails Jinchūriki, do they want to start a war with us?"

"Let's not talk about this first."

Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted Danzo with deep fear in his eyes.

"The Cloud Shinobi who sneaked into the village has been eliminated by Uchiha Li Yue, and he was killed in one blow. Not only that, but two ninjas from my Sarutobi clan were also killed by Uchiha Li Yue!"

"oh?"

Danzo's eyes flashed.

Although it was not obvious, he could still hear the fear and dissatisfaction of his old friend, so he continued.

"I told you earlier that you would regret it!"

"Uchiha Li Yue is unruly, if not restrained, it will definitely bring great disaster to the village in the future."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't reply immediately, but smoked silently, and it took a long time before he spoke.

"From now on, you continue to manage the roots."

Danzo was overjoyed, and then a flash of pride flashed in his eyes.

He found that his old friend really couldn't do without him.

How many days have you been dismissed?

Being forced to this point by Li Yue!

But he quickly put away his pride, looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of the roots. The roots will become the village's shadow and protect the village forever!"

"Um!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

These days when Danzo isn't around, he's really a little bit tied up.

After all, his personality is kind and kind.

He can't do some dirty work.

"Hiruzen, since Cloud Shinobi Village dared to do such a thing, we must make them pay!"

Danzo said in a deep voice.

"It's natural!"

A sharp look flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

The current Konoha is not the withered Konoha of the future talent.

Today's Konoha is full of talents, and the strong are like clouds.

There are as many as seven Kage-level experts alone!

Li Yue, himself, Danzo, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Tsunade, Hatake Sakumo!

With so many masters around, they are naturally confident, and naturally they will not let Cloud Shinobi Village go easily.

"In that case, declare war on Cloud Shinobi Village!"

Danzo said in a deep voice.

"...."

Sarutobi Hiruzen twitched his mouth and directly vetoed: "The World War II has just ended, and the village is still in the recovery stage. It is not appropriate to start a war."

"Since you can't start a war, let Cloud Shinobi Village pay compensation."

Danzo also knew that his old friend would not agree, so he gave another plan: "Not only that, we also want Uchiha Li Yue to be a negotiator!"

"Um?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what Danzo meant.

"Uchiha Li Yue is rebellious and wantonly kills ninjas from the same village. It's time for us to punish this kind of ignorant guy!"

Danzo reveals his plan.

His plan is simple, that is to let Li Yue act as a negotiator between the village and Cloud Shinobi, and demand compensation from Cloud Shinobi Village.

It would be best if the talks collapsed.

They could then spread rumors that the Li Yue talks had collapsed, causing huge losses to the village.

If it works, that's okay too.

They can still spread rumors that Li Yue failed to negotiate and won too little compensation, which harmed the interests of the village.

Either way, it's in their favor.

As long as this matter is successful, Li Yue's reputation will be damaged and everyone will be beaten.

"this......"

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned after listening.

Although he has conflicts with Li Yue, he is also very afraid of Li Yue.

But such a blatantly framed ninja from the same village still made him hesitate.

"Hiruzen, don't forget how the ninja of the Sarutobi clan died and how Shinnosuke went to jail!"

Seeing his old friend hesitate, Danzo became anxious.

"...."

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell silent.

Seeing the silence of his old friend, Shimura Danzō was overjoyed.

He knew that as long as his old friend was silent, it would be tantamount to acquiescing to this statement, so he opened his mouth.

"Hiruzen, everything we do is for the village!"

"If you don't want to do it, then leave this matter to me. You just need to hold a Jōnin meeting. During the meeting, I will propose to negotiate with Cloud Shinobi and let Uchiha Li Yue act as a negotiator!"

"well......"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed slightly, but didn't say anything in the end.

Seeing his old friend acquiescing to his actions, Danzo didn't say anything, but turned and left the office.

After Danzo left, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat on the seat alone, smoking a cigarette silently, and it took a long time before he whispered.

"Danzo is right. Everything I do is for the sake of the village. If Li Yue knows my painstaking efforts, I'm afraid she will understand my actions, right?"

As if he had found a reason to comfort himself, the last bit of guilt in his heart disappeared.

 …

 …

The night passed quickly.

Early the next morning.

Li Yue yawned and got up from the bed.

At the same time, he glanced at Kushina who was sleeping not far away, then walked to the balcony and pushed the sliding door open.

The soft and sweet morning wind blows away Li Yue's hazy drowsiness.

"Master Li Yue, Master Hokage is about to hold a Jōnin meeting, please go to the Council Hall of the Hokage Building at eight o'clock."

At this time, an Anbu appeared, half kneeling on the balcony.

"I see."

Li Yue nodded.

He knew why Sarutobi Hiruzen called the Jōnin meeting, nothing more than what happened last night.

Receiving Li Yue's reply, Anbu disappeared immediately.

And Li Yue also stretched, went to the bathroom to wash up, waited for breakfast and prepared one for Kushina before leaving in an instant.

After Li Yue left.

Kushina, who had her eyes tightly closed, opened them quietly, and a slight redness appeared on her small face.

Looking at the breakfast on the dining table, for some reason, I feel warm in my heart.

Since Mito's mother-in-law passed away, she lived alone, and no one cared for her like this, even prepared her breakfast.

With a happy mood, Kushina rolled up on the bed, and then remembered that this was Li Yue's usual bed, and her slightly red face suddenly turned red.
